I also agree!!! It seems that there are so
many curriculum standards and not enough
time to teach them effectively. The
expectations for 4th grade math and social
studies make teaching extremely difficult.
I know I'm becoming burned out...I try not
to pass that on to the kids. But I see
many kids that giving up instead of
developing a curiosity and enjoyment of
learning. That's sad.
